Join FAC Peer Support and Carolynne M for a free Qigong Session
While May brings warmer days, blooming flowers, and a sense of renewal, it can also bring changing weather patterns that are often difficult for those of us living with fibromyalgia.
This Qigong lesson offers a gentle way to help manage the effects of changing weather while creating an opportunity to reconnect, both with yourself and with others, in ways that feel manageable and meaningful.
Fibromyalgia Association Canada (FAC) encourages you to approach seasonal changes with flexibility and self-compassion. There is no need to rush into change, steadiness matters more than speed. Gentle routines, mindful movement, and supportive connections can help create balance as spring continues to unfold.
As part of this, FAC’s Peer Support initiatives offer space to connect, share experiences, and feel understood. Whether you are joining a group, attending a session, or simply taking a moment for yourself, these small intentional steps can help foster resilience and renewal.
Connecting with others through peer support can reduce isolation and create a sense of belonging. Sharing experiences with people who understand can be validating and empowering, reminding individuals they are not alone on their journey.
A little about your Qigong guide, Carolynne:
Carolynne Melnyk, B.Ed, MA, Certified Spring Forest Qigong Trainer and practitioner, Published Author, and World Traveler. She has been guiding Qigong at Wellspring Alberta for those with cancer for over six years and also has a private online following. She utilizes her intuition and insight, intensive qigong training, years of experience in the field of education, as well as life experiences, to bring a unique blend of skills that helps others transform their lives on all levels, so that they may reclaim their natural health and well-being from the inside out.
Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and drained by the uncertainty and changes taking place in the world? You aren't alone!
Carolynne invites you to join her in a 60-minute moving meditation designed to help you gain energy, relax, calm your mind, and bring your attention to your inner world. Qi gong is a gentle, easy ancient Chinese practice that can be done by anyone, anywhere, at any time. It utilizes focused breathing, visualization, movement, and sound to unblock the blockages in the body created by stress, leaving you feeling relaxed, peaceful, and invigorated. Its beauty lies in its simplicity, effectiveness, and flexibility.
You don’t need any experience or special equipment. You can stand, sit or lie down during the practice. You DO NEED a place where you won’t be disturbed for 60 minutes. Please turn OFF ALL electronic devices. This is your time for a little self-care!
Dress in loose, comfortable clothes and have a chair nearby to sit on or hold onto. Bring along a smile and an open heart, then let the energy soothe you. You may also have some water available for after the practice.
